About the Work
“I
work
not
far
from
here
and
I
can
just
imagine
the
excitement
in
an
up-and-coming
city.
The
buildings
wouldn't
have
been
that
old
at
the
time
of
this
photo
and
it's
wonderful
to
see
the
fountain
in
the
middle
of
the
avenue
where
it
remains
today.
Going
to
town
was
as
good
as
it
gets
back
then,
that's
why
I
love
the
lady
on
the
bike
who
is
immaculately
dressed!”
